Resumen o descripción
This article aims to reveal the precise meaning of
Mexico’s export platform by focusing on maquiladoras
and the disguised maquila industry. In both sectors,
imported components account for 75 to 90 percent of
export value. As a result, benefits for the Mexican economy
are basically restricted to wages, that is, the value
of the labor incorporated into the exports. The authors
argue that what is actually taking place is the disembodied
exportation of labor or, alternatively, that the workforce
is being exported without requiring Mexican
workers to leave the country. The authors thus demystify
the purported orientation of Mexican exports toward
high-value-added manufactured goods and reveal the
regressive movement of the export platform.
